In operation, coke is admitted into the hopper 2 where it is retained by the gate 4 and the plate 6 is adjusted by means of a handle (9) connected to a worm gear (8) which meshes with a gear fast with the shaft 7, Fig. 3 (not shown), a pointer (11) indicating when the desired effective volume of the hopper 3 has been set. The gate 4 is then opened to permit the coke to fall into hopper 3 from which it is subsequently discharged.

Title: Centrifugal pumps
IPC: F04D5/00
Filed: 1966-08-17
Abstract: 1,085,418. Circumferential-flow pumps and fans. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. Aug. 17, 1966 [Oct.22, 1965], No.36739/66. Heading F1C. A circumferential-flow pump or fan, Fig.1, comprises a rotor 12 formed with a semi-toroidal chamber 34 co-operating with a semi-toroidal chamber 36 formed in a stator 14 to form jointly a toroidal chamber 38 through which air or liquid is pumped from an inlet port 46, Fig. 5, to an outlet port 48. The ports are separated by a seal 44 extending across the axial width of the chamber 36 to provide a flat sealing face 52 co-operating with the radial edges of the rotor blades 40. The trailing flank 58 of the seal 44 is shaped as shown to reduce the width of the face 52 over the outer region 56 and to provide a passage 60 which gradually increases in cross-sectional area towards the inlet port 46. The width of the outer region 56 is less than the circumferential spacing of the rotor blades 40 so that the high-pressure discharge fluid which would otherwise be trapped in the pockets between adjacent blades as the blades pass over the seal face 52 can escape into the diverging passage 60, where it flows past the inlet port 46 in a direction which imparts a whirl component of velocity to the fluid entering through the inlet port. The development of the whirl component is assisted by disposing the inlet port 46 obliquely in the trailing flank 58 and by providing a whirl-inducing blade 64. The whirling fluid flows in a helical path around the toroidal chamber 38 and is discharged through the outlet port 48 which is obliquely disposed near the outer periphery of the chamber so that it is substantially in line with the direction of flow at this point. The blade 64 may be pivotally adjustable. As shown, the ports 46, 48 may be elliptical in cross-section. If operation at low volume and high-pressure rather than high volume and lowpressure is desired, the inlet port may be located at 62 in the seal face 52. Both inlet ports 46, 62 may be provided, together with an automatic or manual means for changing from one to the other. The rotor 12 is journalled on the enlarged end 22 of a stationary spindle 24 which supports the stator 14. Excessive pressure developed by the pump is relieved by axial movement of the stator relative to the rotor against the action of a spring 30 having an adjustable abutment 32.

Title: Improvements in and relating to indexing means in cathode ray tubes
Inventor: JESTY LESLIE CONNOCK
IPC: H04N9/24
Filed: 1959-10-29
Abstract: 927,925. Colour television tubes. SYLVANIA-THORN COLOUR TELEVISION LABORATORIES Ltd. Jan. 26, 1961 [Oct. 29, 1959], No. 36810/59. Class 39 (1). In a method of improving the characteristics of indexing stripes on the screen of a cathoderay tube, e.g. a colour television tube, the contrast between the indexing stripes and the rest of the screen is increased by bombarding the screen with the cathode-ray beam under the control of signals derived from the indexing stripes, e.g. to burn off or evaporate material, or otherwise to produce a chemical or physical change, such as by evolving gas from material forming or contained in the indexing stripes. In the colour screen shown, which, prepared as described in Specification 895,772, has colour stripes R, B, G and ultra-violet light emitting indexing stripes I, the aluminium layer 12 is partly or wholly removed at 13 by bombardment with the scanning beam 10. The intensity of the bombarding beam is controlled by signal pulses derived from the indexing stripes and the signal derived from one indexing stripe is delayed so as to control the bombardment of the next indexing stripe. The process may be automatically inhibited for indexing stripes that have reached the required performance. The invention may be applied to screens having secondary electron-emitting indexing stripes, secondary electron-emitting material being incorporated as a layer, or the difference in secondary electron-emitting properties of phosphor material covered with or exposed through an aluminium layer may be utilized. The bombardment process of the invention may be carried out after the tube has been sealed or during the manufacture of the tube, or the screen may be prepared in a separate tube, e.g. formed as the face plate thereof, and afterwards removed. The screen may be prepared in the tube in which it is to be used, but in this case the gun and/or the deflecting system may be changed after the bombardment process.

Abstract: 1395553 Epicyclic gearing D J HUTCHINS and P J HUGGINS 6 Nov 1973 [8 Aug 1972] 36904/72 Headings F2D and F2Q An epicyclic transmission comprises two trains of different basic ratios, constituted by toothed gears or ball or roller bearings, with the input and output connected respectively to the planet carrier of each train, the annuli of the two trains connected together, the sun-wheels connected together, and a control shaft connected to one set of connected parts, as shown, the sun-wheels. The control shaft may be driven at variable speed to vary the transmission ratio, or it may be driven through gearing by the input shaft to provide a constant high ratio gearing. The neutral gear ratio, defined as the ratio of control shaft speed to input shaft speed when the output shaft is stationary, may, e.g. be 6 : 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the sun-wheels of the two trains are of the same size and the annuli are of different size. but the sun-wheels may be of different size and the annuli of the same or different size. Other modifications have the control shaft passing through the output shaft, and the control shaft connected to the annuli instead of to the sun-wheels. In the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 3, for providing torque multiplication, the input is connected to the sun of an additional input train the carrier of which is connected to the input of the basic unit of Fig. 1, and the output of the latter drives the sun of an additional output train meshing with planets on a carrier which is connected to an annulus of the additional input train, the annulus of the additional output train being held fast. Fig. 5 illustrates the layout of a torque multiplier utilizing two basic units of the kind shown in Fig. 1.
